This seminar will discuss how to create and implement an annual campaign at your nonprofit organization that effectively engages and involves volunteers. This strategy works well whether you have an organizational staff of none or 1000 and is referenced in the text, The Annual Campaign by Erik Joseph Daubert, MBA, ACFRE (Wiley, 2009).

Target Audience

Everyone wanting to learn or review concepts about a volunteer driven annual support campaign. In my experience it is not years of service that determine a person’s appropriateness for a class; rather, it is their exposure to certain concepts, systems and processes. Those who will benefit most will be those who are interested in expanding their annual support campaigns to involve more people and raise more funds. The session is usually most appropriate for those with less experience than more, but quite often a good reminder or inspiration for those who have been in fundraising for a while and are in need of new ideas or motivation. With that said:
Entry Level
Mid-Level
Senior Level – particularly those who have not worked with volunteers on fundraising.
Some Advanced Level – particularly those who have not worked with volunteers on fundraising.
